Far From Stock '63 Ford Falcon Futura

- čas přidán 15. 08. 2019
- My friend Michael brought over his 1963 Ford Falcon that he daily drives in Los Angeles, CA. This vehicle was a father + son build that should inspire you to teach your kids something. The body is wrapped white and it has high contrast over fenders and a blacked out front end. This custom Falcon build checks off all the right boxes for most classic Ford fans.

It's great to have more Hot Rodders in the family. Car looks Bad Ass.
Best, Baddest, Ford Falcon ever!
Ford needs to bring this car back. The simplicity of the design is really what puts this car in a class of its own.
Wouldn’t that be awesome to see a retro version with some modern tech?
In the mid 70s all our dads had these killer street cars, the fuel smell permeated the white meat in our heads, and stuck the awesomeness of these type of builds in our remedial nervous system. That’s why we thrive on the visceral driving experience. To us it’s real, we lived it with our dads. It was everyday life and we are the last generation of that kind of cool. Some people call it “toxic masculinity”, I call it Legendary Badassery.
I love these backyard home built street rods they show with imagination, ingenuity and a tool set you could make any model into a one of a kind beauty.
Same for me!
It's called art😊
What a great job! I like the fact that he daily drives it!! I own a 65 Ford Mustang fastback that was a daily driver for 50 years!! I can appreciate all of the work and time he invested in his Falcon! Wow!! Far from stock indeed!! Drive On!!!
What a great car. Love the vintage road racer look/stance and it looks like so much fun to drive!
Impslap he went old school clean mean and raw. Very cool car
i had a 63sprint cov red white top in 75 dont have no more but same lady aint that bad to the bone i think 47years or so
The sound of that falcon is just awesome.
Very cool glad he kept it FORD TOUGH!
All Ford here
That 63 Falcon is One Sweet Hot Rod...............really Enjoyed for sure.
Allen Dodson I’m with you...simple tasteful cool old school build
@@AutotopiaLA I,am New to your channel but i really do love what you do and Thank You for the comment.......
Thanks for watching what we’re doing here 👊
The way this car is just F’in perfect is.. perfect! 👌
Nothing but love for the Oddballs.
Me too. And this one is so damn cool
Oh my god I love that Falcon
This is a neat little car, must be a riot to drive daily.
Love the "Pit Bull" stance of it and 2nd ... it's a daily driver, yo !!! Must be liv'in right.
Michael said it right "To spend all this time and money doesn't make sense to have it sit".
Thanks for letting us all enjoy what you've done. Big fan !
I’m right with you here. This car, the story and the owner are cool af
A stone chip is a story, good on you for driving it!
Daily! I love how much this car gets driven
Pop had the rite ideas for the wheel flares,it is the way I did them back in the day I welded everything on and this Falcon is my favorite model
The car looks just right! The stance, the flares, the nose, everything goes together. It's "mechanical" with a strong motor but not an over-the-top build.
@Rodrigo Vizcarra "Over the Top" to me is when someone customizes their car so much that it ceases to maintain the character of the original. Examples on a car like this would be digital gages, fuel injected coyote motor, ridiculous flares, etc. This car is pure old school. A great build.
@Rodrigo Vizcarra Since you asked - this is my car - czcams.com/video/MkHkxYXi4cY/video.html
Big fan of this ride. Digging the variety and your effort... great job!
I'm with you on that. I've always wanted a road race falcon.
Jason O'Brien I am too...and thanks for watching!
Awesome!
Great idea on the R Model gauge cluster too!
Given that the Falcon gave its DNA for the Mustang, I immediately fall for these. I love the way he went with the old school Trans Am feel on this build and that he DRIVES it! Awesome little car that has to be an absolute hoot to drive. Thanks for sharing this one with us Shawn.
The variety you bring never ceases to amaze me. Keep it up guys!
J.F Cote glad you appreciate the variety and lots more to come for sure
Loved your dad's builds back in the day. You had a great life going to races growing up. The car is wonderful. Needs more power
Excellent show. Love to see the home builds and weekend raced cars. Not everyone have $250,000.00 + to spend on a build. Best car show on. About cars not full of Reality TV fluff. Thank you
If you already own the falcon,, it shouldn't cost that much to build it.,, just saying?!😊
That thing is absolutely awesome. Love the history and the realness
Love the car and concept has me looking at Falcons a totally different way
Cedric Demps you and me both
Amazing! The stance is legit the sound is legit the entire build is legit!
BZBEAST12 yes yes and yes! This thing is awesome!
Far cry from Mom's Falcon. Great clean looking car saved.
This Ford caught my attention.....what a bitchin ride man!
Stan Mendoza yeah, it did the same to me the first time I saw it
My favorite of everyone of these videos!!!!
I thought this was Aaron Kaufman's from Fast N' Loud. Nice setup.
Transfiguration my friend Michael built this with his dad and it’s a cool old school Falcon
It's a great set up. Reminds me of his car, and a NASCAR- styled 64 with purple wheels that ended up in Japan.
So love this model Falcon (XL, XK in Australia) Coupe was rare, but just so beautiful. This one..pure class. Thanks for posting.
I had several of them years ago 61, 62, and 63 and 1/2 bullet nose Sprint. I love these cars. the early mustang parts would fit .
Such a cool car Shawn! Just found this old segment. Hats off to Michael for doing such a neat garage built effort of a car thats really not that common & his Dad had one? F’ing amazing
Great episode. Love seeing cars like this.
This car is built for the track and auto crossing!!!! And a daily driver. That is what hot rodding is all about. I LOVE IT AS WELL!!!! Great video and thanks for sharing!!!
Straight line driving. .. liked to have seen it cornering. Great build guys.
Falcon was never my taste, but I love the way he's got it set up. Bet it rips. The side pipes sound so nasty!
Eshu never mine either but this one has me hooked!
My first car was a Ford Falcon...but it didnt run like this one...what a beautiful beast! Congrats on your AWESOME ride.👍
He really built an incredibly cool car here and I love that he drives it all the time
Love it. A friend of mine in high school had one of these with a 260 V-8 and 4spd from the factory. It was only 8 years old then. This one I think is a bit more peppy.
What a cool car! Nice low buck build too, tastefully done and not over the top. Nice to see younger guys building stuff like this.
Agreed...the hobby is alive and well with the next generation imo
Absolutely love this car!! 👍👍
I built close to the same car, mine is a 62 Falcon
306 , Offenhuser tunnel ram Holley duel quads
11.5 compression ratio, Aluminum Edelbrock 351heads 209 intake valves, Headman shorties, Big Comp cam and springs,
450hp. Daily driver.
You have a great Falcon, good to see other round body Falcon's and Falcon lovers.
If you ever wanna come over and shoot let me know...sounds like you’ve got a killer Falcon also 👊
@@AutotopiaLA that would be cool if I wasn't so far from you. I think your in California , im in Taxas. I would send you a picture or video but can't send pictures on this post.
There is probably a picture on my FB account if wanted to see it.
Thanks that would be fun to do.
Boy I love it! First car I ever totaled was a 63 Falcon. I was 5....
This Falcon is hella sick!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Michael your car is awesome!! Autotopia keep bringing this great content! These different styles of rides suck you in! Can't wait till the next!
Danny Smith thanks and I agree...Michael and his Falcon are just cool 😎
Shawn really got a kick out of the car still having the stock am radio. Must of brought back some memorys lol. Never see anyone do anything with Falcons much these days. Gotta love a dad and son project. I really enjoyed this one. Love the content and as always please keep these videos coming.
thomas green the am radio cracked me up! Such a cool car, story and I’m with you on the father/son part 👊
This is gorgeous 😍 reminds me a little of a late 60s Nissan GTR with the fender flares, etc. Awesome 👌
Absolutely love this built. I have dreams for something similar, but with a weird power plant.
I'm not really a Ford man but there is something about this car , the sound, the look. I've watched this upload maybe 10 times and sent it on to mulitple people, love it.😉👍
Hahaha love the comment about the rear-view. The one on my Mustang has popped off several times as well.
My fav part of my Mom's 63 Falcon was the matchbook door key hole cover on the trunk.
Man such a sweet looking falcon love it!!!
GREAT EPISODE!!!! WELL DONE.
Damn that’s an awesome Falcon! That would fun to rip thru some twisties
ConemantheBarbarian for sure. Would love to go with him to the track
Grrreat videos... the best cars out there! and this falcon stole my heart! Nice Build!
Guys,,,my first car at 16 ,me and my dad bought in 68, a 631/2 futura.. still love it , did trade it in for a70 boss 302..but will always love my falcon..
I don't know how you find these unique and interesting cars but please keep it up. Every show is interesting and different then the one before it
Dave Woodmancy thanks! We’re always on the lookout for stuff that hits our passion button and this one really got me
I love these little cars. Had a friend that ran the first Gator Nationals in one of these.
These are so cool when done right like this one
Cañón!!!...Impresionante Misil!!!
Wow!! What a Beautiful Falcon.
Agreed...style and taste are on point
Whoa! I must’ve been living under a rock for 40 years, never seen a modified Falcon. The body lines with that stance is nice looking. However, his dad’s car with the molded in flares looked super!
This one is going to get molded flares as well...it’s still a project for Michael
Beautiful 🚀
Nice and tastefully done!
Super cool. Just looks right. Sound is sweet. As a kid my dad had the wagon. My first cat to drive as a kid....
Very cool! These are such neat cars and done right they become badasses like this one
Awesome ride
Bad ass car that’s the only ford I would consider owning
The great thing about the Falcon is that all the go-fast bits sold for early Mustangs will fit on a Falcon. Makes the car easy to build for people who just don't want something that looks different.
raw and pure!
Hell yea baby! That Love and Happiness!
Off the charts! This falcon has a mighty set of cojones!
Absolutely love this bro. Sickkkkkkk
Clean, sharp, & badass build! Very nice.
Agreed...really great simple old school build with style and taste
Was wracking my brain and trying to find that song. Remembered that scene from Fringe where Walter was dancing to this song and found it. Al Greene, Love and Happiness. Great song to go with a great car.
Love Al Green!!
Awesome job on you falcon !
Man you always pick the nicest Cars! love this one :)
tzmetalsmith thanks and I’m with you on this Falcon...killer simple, tasteful build 👊
Sick build man
In Argentina, the Ford Falcon is an icon pretty much like Mustang here innUS. Great car!
Yeeeess I need to see more Falcons Please!! I have a 65FuturaWagon302. Excellent Video keep it up!
OGG-Llama this thing is just a badass and that he daily drives it makes it even cooler to me
so sick
Love Falcons , I had. 63 1/2 Sprint ( for 33 years ) , like you I reflared the rear wheel wells , but did it to match the front flair i.e. The stock flair had a square edge , so I took ( iirc ) some 3/4 inch sq. Tubing and bent it then filled in the rest with metal ( I left on the side spears so I did not go as high as you did ) I wanted the factory look as much as possible . One thing that I really wanted to do was move the rear end aft about 4 inches , big tires would hit the body on the forward side of the tires . At the time I was doing this in the dirt and this was my only transportation .
The engine it came with was a 260 with a 2 speed auto ( what moron decided on a 2 speed tranny , seems i was always waiting for it to shift ) knew a guy who wrapped his 67 2+2 ,WITH A BEEFY 289 and a 4 speed top loader and a 8.8 ( iirc ) so I cramped this in there , sorry to say all this happened in about 5 days in the dirt .
Oh , one last detail you could. Hold the doors open about a foot , let go of the handle and they closed with a perfect mesh , when ever some got in , i always said in a loud voice " DO NOT SLAM THE DOOR " and if they did , they would be called out for it . Hey sorry for the ramble well no not really , loved my SPRINT . Sniffle , sniffle
Outstanding
Yeah, I love this car and his story
That MACHINE sounds SOOO....COOL!! Nice job MIKE!
He built such a cool car! Everything about this is right imo
Looks sick great build
I love that car and he did a great job to say the least. You are right the look is just "Bad Ass".
Totally agree!
Great episode, keep up the great work!!!
💯👊💯
Thanks! This car is so sick and Michael is just simply a great guy
Very nice ride and it great that he and his Dad both had Falcon Love ride height and the flares are really cool and its a driver and that he's like riding with his Dads memory that's really cool
Glad you can appreciate the beauty of the car, the build and the back story 👊
Truly a sweet car. Thanks!
Yeah, really great build and story
One of the coolest cars!
No question! Killer build and story behind the build
Beautiful build . !👍👍😎
Sure is
this is good taste ..many can see this is where this car needs to be
Awesome 😎
Love to see a nice possible in black , stealth kinda look C10 pick up slammed on here 👌🏼
This Falcon is awesome! I havnt seen a fixed up Falcon in a long time! Most guys use gthe more square bodied Falcons. Last time I saw one of those was probably in the early 80s. Beautiful car! Not too many left.
Rare to see a Falcon built...refreshing to see one of these done with such taste and style
That’s so cool 👍
Great video and interview of the 63 Falcon sprint. Bought one new as a Falcon conv. with a 3 sp column shift 260 V 8 2 bbl rangoon red black top and black interior. Eat your heart out it only cost $ 2757.50 new. The sprint model came out mid 63 as an option. I am 80 years young and looking for on as we speak. Looking for a 63 Sprint this time. Would probably run a stroker 351 windsor, 6 speed with a lot of updates Dennis Belk
Congrats on 50k Shawn and the crew.
James Nichols thank you 👊
I just got a my 65 falcon, I’m 15 going on 16 and I got so many plans for it, ima daily my car too.
I like it, I like it a lot.
Sucha Simple and beautiful build u actually don't need to build a hundreds of thousands dollars car to really enjoy!!!
